I have the exact same issue on my Gigabyte Z77X-UD3H motherboard running the latest ME 8.1.52.1496 firmware. I haven't researched it a lot since I have been doing some other stuff but in my case the default Windows ME drivers don't cause that problem. Go to Device Manager and uninstall the current drivers + tick the Delete the software for this device box too. Unofrtunately that is the only way. I will try a complete reflash of the ME at some point and post here the results.

Fernando, I think MEManuf would be a useful addition to this thread, for testing ME Firmware state.

I had tried MeManuf more than a month ago. It was reporting everything fine even when it wasn't. Anyway, today I fixed the wake problem with Code 10 on my system. It's either the reflash of the entire bios or the latest drivers that solved it (probably the first). What I did:

1) Installed the latest Intel MEI Drivers v10.0.28.1000 WHQL from Here
2) Used "FPT -F BIOS.bin" command to reflash the whole 8MB BIOS image which also updates the ME (at least at my Gigabyte board)
3) Reboot system and Restore Setup Defaults
4) Downloaded the latest ME v8.1.52.1496 1.5MB from Here and updated it using "FWUpdLcl64 -F ME_8.1.52.1496.bin" command
5) Reboot system and reapply your previous bios settings manually
6) Run MeInfo to check that the ME is fully updated and then Memanuf to test it
7) Check if the sleep problem is now fixed

Attached MeManuf v7.1.20.1119 & MeInfo v7.1.52.1180 for 6-series systems based on ME7 firmware. They work perfectly fine under Windows x64.

@ anfield24csk3:
Welcome at Win-RAID Forum!

You can update
1. the Intel ME Consumer (1.5M) Firmware to v9.0.31.1487 and
2. the ME software and drivers by running the installer of the complete Intel ME Set v10.0.28.1006 WHQL.
Alternatively to point 2 you can update just the Intel MEI driver to v10.0.28.1000 WHQL from within the Device Manager.

Good luck!
Regards
Fernando

AFAIK MeManuf is for both mobile & desktop systems. For example the one I provided previously for ME7 is working perfectly on my laptop. Even the one for ME8 (8.1.10) works fine. So this "desktop" part might confuse people.

Also, attached below MeManuf v6.0.0.1184 & MeInfo v6.2.0.1022 for 5-series systems based on ME6 firmware. They work perfectly fine under Windows x64.

Sorry for the "double post". Out of curiosity I was searching about the older ME6 that is included in an older P55 system I have and I found out something. Basically at the time (5-series launch) the different SKU's had different BIOS sizes (2MB, 4MB or 8MB). The ones with 2MB bioses (like my old board) actually have a small 200KB (0.2MB) ME firmware called Ignition because it provides only extremely basic stuff like temp monitoring. So in this post from about a month ago that person has a PM55 (2MB chip) system and so the 1.5MB v6.1.10.1052 firmware provided from @lordkag is not correct for that system.

@ plutomaniac:
Thank you very much for your additional input.
Meanwhile I have added the Intel MEManuf Tool v6.0.0.1184 and the MEInfo Tool v6.2.0.1022 to the start post of this thread and done some modifications regarding the associated text.
I hope, that everything is now complete and ok for you.

The FWUpdLcl tool requires a special smaller ME firmware file with different HEX code which is around 1.3MB. The full production ME firmware is 1.5MB and can only be flashed with FPT. In this picture I am comparing v7.1.60.1193 Update & v7.1.60.1193 Production firmwares. As you can see they have completely different HEX code:

Now, check the size of the different files. The full images are 1.524KB whereas the update is 1.304KB.




Lordkag gave you the file at the top of the picture above. As you can see it's 1.524KB which is a full 1.5MB production ME. It cannot be used with any FWUpdLcl tool. This file can only be flashed with FPT or embedded inside a BIOS image after fixing OEM settings (which the update firmware & FWUpdLcl tool keep intact). Unfortunately the FWUpdLcl v6 does not have a -save command to dump an update ME file like v7 tools and above. So I guess the only way to get the update firmware was via Intel back then. As far as FWUpdLcl v6 is concerned, the one you have at the 5MB v6.2.60.1066 package will do just fine for 1.5MB-based update firmwares.

Aside all these, the reason I said that Lordkag gave the wrong firmware is because that guy has a system with 0.2MB Production ME (Ignition without AMT part as shown at the picture above) and so the 1.5MB version would not fit. Systems with Ignition ME (0.2MB) don't even use MEI Drivers as I saw at my old P55 desktop today. There is a Windows Management Engine but it's not from Intel nor does it take such drivers. Ignition provides very basic functions at boot-time so a windows driver is not present/needed.

ME Firmware: v8.1.52.1496
ME Driver: 10.0.28.1000
